A walk Along the Cliff Top

Took a walk along the cliff top today since it was such a great day for walking. Took a hastily prepared lunch and slapped on the sunblock. The Almonds joined us midway for a '99'. A 99 is a British Institution which involves an ice cream in a cone (works best if purchased from a Mr. Whippee - translated as a soft ice cream vendor), then to the ice cream in the cone is inserted a chocolate bar of sorts called a Flake. Put the 2 together and you have a 99. Don't know why they are called 99 since they were called 99 before they cost £0.99 and yesterday they cost £1.12. So there.
Those funny concrete things off in the middle of the picture are tank defences that were put in place during WWII, to stop, well, tanks. Nearby, was a nature reserve with a very swingy gate. And the nuclear power plant looking buildings are not nuclear power plant buildings. It is an old coal generating plant that is no longer used. But the stacks provide good landmarks no matter where you are on Thanet.

And the last few photos are for Johnny F & Q - We promised both of them that we would take a picture from the patio of the pub after a long, gruelling day. Um, J-Rock is only pretending to drink that pint of Green King.



I'm inspired by letterboxes because of the Lady on the Cam - And this one is a a Queen Victoria wall box. Don't know it's rarity status yet. Mostly in these parts we see George or Elizabeth II boxes.
